“It’s the perfect guidebook for a career-challenged grad who’s wondering what the heck she’s going to do with her life. It wonderfully demystifies the job-hunting process and offers practical advice on what a job is all about.” – Seattle Magazine

 

So . . . what do you want to be when you grow up? Find out what you really want to know about your career choices: Will I wear Prada or Old Navy? Play with kids on the playground, or with bigwigs in the boardroom? Power lunch at the Ivy, or bag lunch at my desk? What kind of education do I need?

This book is packed full of answers. “Day in the life” profiles will inspire you, while a ton of sidebars, lists, and helpful tips will get you started right away on finding the career that’s right for you. Discover words of wisdom from women in the workforce, including Shonda Rhimes, creator and executive producer of Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal, who thinks her job is like running a small country; Susan Schulz, magazine editor in chief, who compares her life to both a chess game and the prom; and U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer, who says that if you’re passionate about an issue, you can turn it into a career.
